Singlespeed & Fixed Gear"I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five.
Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Have you ever gotten your clown shoes caught in the chain? And how high do you roll your balloon pants so that they don't unroll on you? I'm thinking about starting to ride while dressed as a clown and want to know how to do it properly.

I love riding brakeless with no foot retention because when I'm spinning really fast and a foot slips off and I can't get my feet back on the pedals so I'm just sitting there on the seat with my legs sticking out so they don't get whacked by the pedals and going "Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!" because I can't stop and I'm going to get hurt really bad... I think that must look pretty cool.
